9. Remi's funeral; the procession goes towards the church of St. Timothy, where it is proposed to bury the saint, but in front of St. Christopher's, on the site of the present basilica, the saint, by making it impossible to lift his coffin, manifests his desire to be interred in this chapel. The saint's winding-sheet, carried in procession, dispels the plague that had been ravaging the city. 10. Angels transfer the relics of the saint to his mausoleum. A soldier who had tried to break in the door of the church, cannot withdraw his foot. Remi punishes the Bishop of Mayence, guilty of theft. Remi reveals himself with the Virgin and St. John. The Archbishop of Rheims, Robert de Lenoncourt, kneeling, presents the ten pieces of tapestry to the saint. The latter tapestry was riddled with splinters (_photo, p. 110_) during the bombardment of September 4, 1914. =The Treasure= This was kept in the sacristy, the 15th century carved wood doors of which have Flamboyant style frames. Formerly the richest of all the church treasures of France, it was impoverished in the course of the centuries, through wars and revolutions. The =enamels= by Landin of Limoges (1633), dedicated to the lives of St. Timothy and St. Remi, a 12th century abbot's =crozier=, =reliquaries= and =sacerdotal ornaments= are noteworthy. The treasure was removed, together with the doors of the sacristy, by the Historical Monuments Department. =The North Transept= Three small white marble Gallo-Roman or Carolingian capitals crown the colonnettes of the triforium. Formerly, the church contained several tombs. Let into the wall of the north transept is a Latin epitaph, praising the virtues of a woman named Guiberge, who seems to have combined in her person the perfections of six women, _i.e._ the beauty of Rachel, the fidelity of Rebecca, the modesty of Susanna, the piety of Tabitha, the warm affections of Ruth, and the high morals of Anna. [Illustration: THE RUINED TRANSEPT _In the foreground: Renaissance Balustrade round the Choir (see p. 115), at the intersection of the Northern Transept. At the back: Inner side of the South Transept Door._] =The South Transept= The first chapel on the right of the apse, against the transept, is the chapel of St. Eloi. In 1846, forty-eight storied flag-stones, taken from the flooring of the sanctuary of the church of St. Nicaise and collected by the architect Brunette, were placed there. These 14th century lozenge-shaped stones are engraved in black, the hollowed-out portions being filled with lead. Each stone has a pretty border with a square medallion, in the middle of which two or three figures represent a scene from the Old Testament, from Noah to Daniel in the lions' den. This chapel also contained two very expressive mediæval statues of painted wood and a 14th century Christ, all of which came from the old church of St. Balsamic.
